Not your typical DOHC swap

[for3ver]

Alright to lay this to lay this to rest I did drive around with the engine in the car so I know what it feels like and I enjoyed it. Some of you may have different opinions and that is fine. I am not going to stop just because you guys don't like the m42. And on that note I made a little progress today. I got the last couple wires out of the fuse box and then pulled the whole wiring harness into the cabin.





So the next step is to remove the ABS, charcoal canister, fuel filter, and the brake booster and then I can start going to town on the body work.

Did you take my advice on removing the wires? Be careful with the little locking nub, those break way too easily, ask me how I know.

Actually the m42 has more hp, it revs higher than 4,500, and is also lighter.

Im assuming you are referring to the ETA motor, because the b25 has more power, more torque, and rev's higher than 4,500rpm...

i woulda just bought a crx (35mpg all day) and had two cars to fcukzzz wit ;)

Well once I am done with this swap I plan on buying another e30 and doing a fast car. I am thinking m10 turbo :D

I don't have any huge updates because it seems like every day I don't work its raining, but I made a little progress. I finally got all of the abs wiring out of the car which was very time consuming and I broke almost every plastic clip. I also removed the fender so that I can figure out how I am going to route the harness.

Anyone need an abs harness uncut?




Next I am going to pull the harness through the fender and locate the fuse box under the dash. I think the body work is going to be the hardest part of this swap so I would appreciate any information in that area.
